Hello!👋
I am Lisa, an 4th year Ph.D. student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I am advised by Professor Richard Anderson in the ICTD Lab. In 2022, I was selected to MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 Japan. I am a Japanese Quad Fellow for the inaugural cohort of the Quad Fellowship. During 2021-2023, I was funded by The Funai Foundation for Information Technology. I received my B.A. from Wellesley College, where I double majored in Computer Science and Philosophy.
